I colonised a planet that was not optimal for my raceI forgot to start terraforming itI built the government building, then other buildings and a starbaseThe population remained tiny - just a few thousandAn enemy attacked the planet. Most of the attacking ships bombed/fired on the planet first and not my shipsI destroyed all of the attacking ships after a few rounds, but all of my population was killed offThe next turn the sitrep reports the colony has been destroyed.I send a colony ship and resettle the planet: THE STARBASE WAS STILL IN ORBIT

If another civ had colonised the planet, would they have got my starbase

I wonder if I killed off the population on an enemy planet but left the starbase/shipyard/stargate in place and let the turns go to 50 if I could use this to my advantage?
